I realized that when I said garden décor my mother heard one thing; garden gnomes.  I found this out once I had received my seventh gnome after letting her know that I would like to have gifts for my garden.  I had to have a discussion with her so she would broaden her view of what garden décor is.  Once I showed her all the different items that qualify as garden décor, she was stunned and vowed that her gifting would be changing this year.

To help her get a since of what I like, I shared with her the new pergola that we have just installed in the backyard.  We placed it along the back fence over one of our favorite spots where we can look back at the house and just enjoy the sunset view during our evenings together.  I had to laugh when mother stated that she really liked that kind of décor!  I am always surprised at how communication can be received so differently than it was intended.  But hopefully, now that she has a full range of what garden décor is, my gnome collection will be joined by some different items in the near future!
